Prescription Medicines

Many common meds are available without prescription for a fraction of the price. New meds may not be available and can be expensive if they have to be imported. Names of meds are different than in the U.S., and you may have to go to a doctor initially to get them translated. Bringing your prescription forms from home will help.

Expat Health Insurance in Ecuador

We didn't use our U.S. insurance because the deductibles would have been more than what we paid for care in Cuenca.
